The Senate just posted the report language of its FY26 science appropriations bill. This text lays out what they want done and carries the force of law if it is included in the final spending bill.
It's a line-by-line refutation of Trump's proposed budget for NASA and NOAA.

This story is also far more straightforward and solid about who gave warnings and who didn't. "...most cellphone alerts were coming from the National Weather Service’s Austin/San Antonio station. But some alerts about life-threatening flooding didn’t come until the predawn hours..."
Texas Hill Country is no stranger to flash floods. Why were so many caught off guard?
When the precipitation intensified in the early morning hours Friday, many people failed to receive or respond to flood warnings at riverside campsites known to be in the floodplain.
